20 years ago, this week, I walked through that door. I will never get over this moment! Thank you @TheAcademy, @Lionsgate, @leedanielsent and Marc Forster. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ID6dTamnQ1

It's been 20 years since Halle Berry became the first black woman to win a Best Actress oscar. She beat out Renee Zellweger

Lupita should’ve 100% been nominated for Us, definitely should’ve gotten in over Charlize Theron who got a throwaway nom for Bombshell that year. I thought Dominique Fishback was wonderful in Judas and the Black Messiah, Tiffany Haddish for Girls Trip (remember that Melissa McCarthy got a nom for Bridesmaids!). Regina Hall for Support the Girls and Carmen Ejogo for Selma.
